title: [Results and complications of surgery of congenital cataract].
abstract: Results of surgery for congenital cataract were studied according to age of implantation, type and polarity. Each forms combined, visual acuity in logMAR is divided by a median of 0.45 (5/10) in bilateral cataracts and 0.7 (2/10) in the unilateral. The precocity of the surgery allows a better prognosis, but exposes to more complications, especially glaucoma. Complications as inflammatory diseases, glaucoma, capsular opacification, refractive error, residual myopic shift, and retinal complications are discussed.
